It is very frequent request to upload CSV file to database or Import CSV file into database. I have previously written article how one can do this using T-SQL over here SQL SERVER – Import CSV File Into SQL Server Using Bulk Insert – Load Comma Delimited File Into SQL Server.
One of the request which I quite often encounter is how I can do the same using SSIS package and automate it. Today we will understand the same using images.
First of all, let us create the table where we want to insert the CSV file.
Here is the sample table which I am creating where I will import my CSV.
CREATE TABLE [EmployeeImported](
[EmployeeID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[ContactID] [int] NOT NULL,
[ManagerID] [int] NULL,
[Title] [varchar](100) NOT NULL,
[MaritalStatus] [char](1) NOT NULL,
[Gender] [char](1) NOT NULL,
[HireDate] [datetime] NOT NULL
Now let us open SQL Server Business Intelligence studio. (Path: Start >All Programs > Microsoft Sql Server 2008 R2 > SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio. Select Integration Services Project. Create a new project and save it.
Click on Control Flow and drag Data Flow Task to the right side pan.
Double click on the Control Flow task.
It will take you to Data Flow pan.
Drag Flat File Source from Toolbox to Data Flow task pan.
Configure New Connection by clicking New.
Select the Path of the file and specify Text Qualifier. For me the text qualifier is comma(,).
Click on Columns and adjust OutputColumnWidth – match it with width of your original data. If you do not know leave it as default (at 50).
Click on on following screen.
Now Select OLE DB Destination from right side Toolbox and drag to below the Flat File Source.
Put them near to each other ad demonstrated below.
Connect Green Arrow of Flat File Source with OLE DB Destination.
Double click on OLE DB Destination and connect to the database and table created earlier in the code.
After configuring connection the mapping needs to be adjusted as well.
Now on mappings tab connect both the size. I have not connected very first column as it is identify column for me.
Clicking OK will bring me to following screen.
Now click on F5 and it will execute the package in debug mode.
Do let me know your opinion about this article.

Thanks for your great articles, you are a most valuable expert
Hi, pinal!
Have you ever used a custom delimiter in CSV files?
I used bulk load task and I couldn't use delimiter for example ASCII(7)… SSIS have failed on compilation…
Best regards,
I've only used commas, pipes and tabs as main delimiters myself, but you should be able to split the columns up using the derived column transformation.
I find that derived column transformation to be a bit of a pain to use though so what i normally do is just load the data into a scratch table with a varchar (or nvarchar) field that's large enough to fit the entire row, or section that contains the custom delimiter, then write a t-sql procedure to split it out into columns and load to the final table.
Nice primer on SSIS. I should point out though that you mention your text qualifier is a comma. This is not the case, and generally wont be the case for a CSV file.
In setting up the flat file connection there is a "columns" section where you specify the column delimiter:
The text qualifier you mention is used when you have a text field, like notes and such, that might contain commas and the qualifier prevents the import process from dividing that field up every time it sees a comma. Often if you're exporting from Access this is a double quote (").
Good article, i have had better luck using CSV files to import data as compared to excel files. In excel i do run into the issue of coulmn having unicode types and i have had to use the Data Conversion task within the data flow to covert unicode to nonunicode and then import the data into sql server.
Hi Pinal Dave,
I'm a young DBA just getting started and I LOVE articles like these. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your knowledge with us! As I mature I hope to someday "give back" in a similar fashion.
Hi Pinal,
Lots of People don't understand the MS BI (SSIS/SSAS/SSRS)
It's been nice article for new SSIS people.
How SSIS Works.
Hi Pinal,
Your article is good for beginning.Here are some points:
When you are using CSV file or text file and your file have Column Names in first Data row then check the check box says "Column Names in First Data Row", It will automatically takes Column Name as the CSV or Text file has. If not checked or your file don't have column names then you have to follow the process which you defined in your BLOG.
I would like to ask one question what is the use of "," Comma in Text Qualifier in your article.
If the columns are seperated by comma, you need to use comma there
Sorry madhivan, but that is incorrect, the column delimiter is the comma, but the text qualifier is useful for splitting out text strings that contain the delimiter. for example:
the text qualifier " means that the string aae,sdef would be treated as one column
Hi Madhivanan,
As Barny says,Text Qualifier is used for a different purpose. Suppose you CSV has a column Address and in this You have a address like "Street no.5,Delhi,1″. Now when you use Comma ad a Column delimiter then SSIS will delimit Address into three Columns, but It must be read into a single column.
For this we take " in Text Qualifier and SSIS will read Address (Street no.5,Delhi,1) into a single column.
i dont know..where he inserted the csv file
Hi Pinal,
can you explain me how to set the properties for TEXT Qualifier and Format.
could you plz explain me with an example.
in fomat we have—->Delimited,fixed width, ragged right.
what are the cases that we go for above three.
Thanks in advance,
i have once csv file like this
name sal
____ ___
sarath 20000
raja 30000
sara,d 12121
but not getting proper way of result
hi pinal,
this is ok but if i have 50 csv file with diffrent name can i use the same same ssis package for all files.
Hi Sanjay…
No matter how many CSV file you have you can import them by using SSIS provided the Structure of CSVs should be same.
Example: CSV1
You just have to use the ForEachLoop Container and in Collection use "Foreach File Enumerator" specify the folder where all your CSV files are and in Files use *.CSV and Retrieve file name as Fully Qualified…
And claick OK after that Drag A Data Flow Task inside the For Each Loop Container and use the CSVs as you wish..
Hi Pinal,
Can I create/extract master detail tables and data with SSIS project?, I am new in SSIS, so will you please explain How can I extract data from csv in master detail table?
EmpId Emp_name designation
1 abc1 IT Manager
2 abc2 Sr. Software Developer
3 abc3 Sr. Software Developer
4 abc4 Sr. Software Developer
5 abc5 Software Developer
6 abc6 Software Developer
7 abc7 Web Developer
8 abc8 Web Developer
9 abc9 Web Developer
I want to create two table from single table like
EmpId Emp_name designationId
1 abc1 1
2 abc2 2
3 abc3 2
4 abc4 2
5 abc5 3
6 abc6 3
7 abc7 4
8 abc8 4
9 abc9 4
and another one is
DesignationId Designation
1 IT Manager
2 Sr. Software Developer
3 Software Developer
4 Web Developer
Hi Harish,
Yes, you can create the master detail table data with SSIS. In your given data you can achieve this by follow the below steps:
In SQL: Make Three tables
1.For store Designation and DesignationID calls Designation.
2.For Store EmpId,Emp_name and designationId Calls Employees.
3.Staging table for storing the data as it is in the example data given by you.
CREATE TABLE Stg_Employee
EmpID INT,
Emp_Name VARCHAR(100),
Designation VARCHAR(100)
1.First Create a SSIS Package.
2. Drag a DataFlow Task on Control Flow Surface and Double click on this and take a FlatFile Source and OLEDB Destination.
3. Configure to both FlatFile Source and OLEDB Destination. FlatFile Soure to your main data and OLEDB Destination to the Staging table that we have created in our SQL part.
3. Map the appropriate Column names.
4. Drag Another DataFlow Task on Control Flow add the Precedence Constraint of previous DataFlow Task to this one and
Double Click on it.
5. Take a OLEDB Source and OLEDB Destination and in OLEDB Source choose SQL Command as Data Access Mode.
6. Write the query which should be like
SELECT DISTINCT Designation,DENSE_RANK()OVER(ORDER BY Designation) AS DesignationId FROM Stg_Employee
7. Map the columns of this query to the table which you made for store Designation and DesignationID.(Suppose the name of this table is Designation)
8. This is the trickiest part of this process for this again a DataFlow Task on Control Flow and join the Previous Precedence Constraint with it.
9. Double click on it and take a OLEDB Source LookUP Transformation and OLEDB Destination.
10.Take Stg_Employee as a source and take Designation table in LookUP transformation and match the Designation of stg_Employees
to Designation of Designation table and on the bases of match records take DesignationID.
11. In OLEDB Destination take Employees Table as A Source. Now you have Emp_ID,Emp_Name which will come from stg_Employees table and DesignationID which will come from Designation Table.
Click OK and Run The SSIS packge…
Note: Since we are not dealing the Errors in this process this may happen that due to some mismatch records in LookUP transformation the Package Fail.
And Please let me know if you have any more queries related to this.
Hi Deepak Sharma,
Thank you very much for nice solution. This solution works for me. I want to learn SSIS, so can you please suggest more blog and books on SSIS?
Hi Haresh,
I would suggest you to go to the below article on Technet
Sure this link will help you.
Hi Pinal, This is a good introduction on how to import flat files into tables. In my case, I need to import three files having different number of data elements into three tables having the same corresponding number of columns. My questions are:
1) Which is the better and recommended method to use? – Using Bulk Insert command in a stored procedure OR using SSIS?
2) The file location, database server and database name are different for development, system integration, user testing and production environments. If I want to use SSIS to do the file import, how can I create one SSIS package that will dynamically get the file location, server name and db name from some configuration file and execute in the appropriate environment?
Hi Mallikarjun,
In my opinion, You can better achieve this by using SSIS.
For making the SSIS connections dynamic use SSIS configuration.
Just make 4 configuration files for each and every environment ands use them in your SSIS package for this do right click on control flow and enable Package Configuration and make a configuration file.
For more information do some googling on configuration file in SSIS.
Pinal, two more questions after my previous email.
1) How do we truncate table before import from the file? I did not find any option in OLE DB connection setup to do that.
2) Can we import of 3 files having different number of fields in the same SSIS package?
Hi Mallikarjun,
1. Use Execute SQL Task on Control Flow of SSIS and make the configure it with OLEDB connection and in query use the TRUNCATE table statement.
2. For this you can use three Data Flow Tasks on Control Flow Tab and when you do double click on Data Flow task choose your Source,Transformation and Destination to configure them
Le me know if you have any more question on this topic.
HI Pinal
I want to import image file using ssis package.
Can you please help me how to do it ?
Hi Abhishek,
Yes you can use Import Column and Export Column for dealing BLOB and Images in SSIS. The process of import column transformation is complicated. You can follow the below LINK for the reference and let me know if you have more question on the same topic.
Hi I believe u said that u used data conversion tool.
I am using the same tool but still have the error saying cant convert from unicode to non-unicode where my source data type is DT-STR
please reply me with a solution
HI Pinal
I am a big fan of yours and really value your articles. I use DTS to import flat files for our company and using temp tables to hold the data before sending it via standard interface that company has written to filter the data. My issue is here that you have not mentioned somthing to filter data such as trasformations used in ssis. I very much like to see thease trnsformation conditional split, data conversion etc. in action. Hope I am not asking a lot.

Hello, I am very new in SSIS,
I want to import many txt files into sql many tables,
the table name is the same with the txt file name,
like this: file P.txt —- table P
Can I do this in one package?
How to do this?
Hi Pinal,
I am not able to find the solution for my problem.
here is my question :-
i have a data flow task to copy a csv file into a table. the file has 84 columns(8145 rows). when i do run my dft it runs fine(all green) .. I can see the data in preview and in data viewer too. I can see the data in data flow also like 1113 rows, 3000 rows …. and finally 8145 rows.
but at end it says
[DTS.Pipeline] Information: "component "OLE DB Destination" (9)" wrote 0 rows.
I have few columns with comma separated value in my CSV file. tht might be creating problems.
Hi Pinal,
I am new to SSIS.
Here is my question:
How can we ensure SSIS picks up the latest CSV File from the folder?
I would also like to know this as I am doing something similar.
I have an SSIS package set up which goes to an FTP site and downloads a csv file for me then brings it into SQL.
However each day I need to go in and change the filename from: filename_011020011_02102011 to filename_02102011_03102011
When in fact all I want it to do is pick up the lastest file each day.
Hi Nick,
Have you find a way to figure this out. Actually for doing so .. we need to use Script task component and has to write the C# or VB script inside the Script task component. I would like to have the script. Could you please send me the script.
Hi Pinal,
I am new to SSIS.
Here are my questions:
How can we ensure SSIS picks up the latest CSV File from the folder?
How would SSIS Package be scheduled?
Hi Saranya,
Am also looking for the solution for the same problem (both questions). Kindly reply if you have any idea to do the same. Thanks in advance.
Hi Pinal
I have a .csv file which needs to be inserted in a column with datatype varchar(max). I am really new to import and export. how can i do this? Any type of help would be really appreciated.
You can use bcp or bulk insert for this
Image in example above does not work
Hello Pinal Dave,
I have clearly understood the process of how we can upload a CSV file to a table in a database (sql server 2008 ) using SSIS package.
Although I want to execute the package from stored procedures.
I got some code which allows me to execute the package which involve upload from excel to database table through Stored Procedure.(which is working)
and using the same code I am not able execute package which involve .csv to database table upload.
–Step -1
USE master
EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1
EXEC sp_configure 'xp_cmdshell', 1
EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 0
— Step 2
DECLARE @returncode int
EXEC @returncode = xp_cmdshell 'dtexec /f "c:\your path\package.dtsx"'
Pleas reply me ASAP.
Thanking You.
Hi Pinal Dave,
Like to read different posts of this website. It is a very useful website for getting solutions to various problems.
But i am having a problem with this particular .csv file
I have a .csv file which has a data in first row and then the headers for columns below it. Example
Company Name = "ABC DEF"
Then comes all the columns with headers. So if i want to parse this company name to a column in same table where i am going to pass all the remaining columns from this .csv file. How do i do that using SSIS?
Can you help me on this?
Please provide us more input and expected result. You can anyway parse the informations and load data into respective columns
Hi Pinal,
I have the flat file source like this:
"email@example.com","test","test2″,"814 42nd st","NULL","beach","FL","33407″,"5618424410″,"188.8.131.52″,"xyz.COM","2010-10-05 10:36:00″
"firstname.lastname@example.com","john","test","7243 thoreau cir","NULL","atlanta","GA","30349″,"","22.214.171.124″,"newsite.COM","2010-10-05 09:33:00″
When we insert the data to the table it will be added with double quotes ("), please give your suggestion how to resolve it.
Hi Pinal,
Now I have added double quotes as text qualifier and able to get the data. Thanks for your good article.
how to upload excel file into database using ssis
Hi Pinal
Thanks for this solution. My client however requires that I write a procedure to import data with any number of fields. The Import doesnt care how it is formed. This requires that the table gets created from the data rather than pre-empted by the programmer. This is a problem if a table is required first. How can i implement this? A dynamic way you could say.
Hello Everyone!
First of all, I'm impressed from the level of the article. Simply – a genious at work!
My question:
I've loaded already 350 CSV files into SQL server 2008 using the SSIS package (with loop container), but now I have to be able to read every day the current log of the day, formatted CSV, but updating every minute.
What I need is a way to connect to the 'live' CSV file and every new line written to it – to get it into SQL server 2008 (using some convertions, etc., like I did in SSIS).
Is there a way to do this (with SSIS or any other way)? Or I'll just have to wait and get the full file after midnight (when the log file is rotated)?
Many many thanks for a good answer!
I'm still looking for a solution to my problem.
I see many questions after mine got an answer, and – for some reason – My question left alone.
Are you open to using PowerShell to parse your CSV to fetch new records? Are you familiar with PowerShell? In SQL server 2008 and greater you can trigger PwerShell scripts as a step within a SSA job and follow it up on the next step with an SSIS job to load the new records.
Marcus (and others),
I'll do whatever needed to be able to read those live files.
I don't know about PowerShell yet, but if you'll tell me that's the correct way to do it – I'll do it.
Looking forward hearing a solution,
Dear everybody.
I'm still waiting for a solution to load current data from live dynamic CSV file (mail server log file).
How can I make the connection to it, and read it line by line whenever a line is added?
I'm looking for the similar solution. Please let me know if you able to find it.
HI Pinal
The article is very helpful.However I have another challenge. If the data already entered in SQL database comes again in the flat or csv file, the sql database will get duplicate enteris. I can make the coulmn as primary, however that will generate the error and the pkg will fail. Is there a process i can check in the sql database before importing into sql. Kindly suggest how can i achieve this through SSIS.
Import data into staging table and remove duplicates and move this to target table
Thanks for the nice article. I had some developers create a SQL Server 2008 based application for me. However, somewhere in the transformation of the data, some large numbers get rounded. They have looked and looked but can't find where the rounding is occuring. Has anyone else experienced this using SSIS?
Thanks for these article. But i want another article i have 200 flat files .
I want to create tables in SQL SERVER database with each FLAT file with different tables means(200 tables ) using SSIS please respond me my
EMAIL ID IS : [email removed]
HI! Dave,
If the flat files contains datetime column with dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss mis format how can i set this to mm/dd/yyyy format and import, i am always having problems with the date formats, it always swaps the date to month and the months to date while importing. how does this been corrected in ssis as per your above steps in sql 2008
Read about SET DATEFORMAT in sql server help file.
You can do
set dateformat dmy
and do the import
i have 5 csv file in a folder. that i want to transfer to sql server table. i did that but in sql server table there is another field called csvfilename, means once i will put the dataflow task in the foor loop container, the data will process and simultaneously the name of the csv file will go to that table.like wise 5 csv will go to sql table with the CSV filename .
pinal, or anyone else can you help me on this. its very urgent.
what i am able to do-
i am able to move the content from all the csv file to one sql server table
what i am not able to do-
the csv file name is not coming in sql server table. everywhere it is coming as "null", because the default value is null. i am not able to pass the file name from foor loop container.
I am following this simple example, and it is not working. I setup a Data Flow Task on the Control Flow tab, and a Flat File Source and OLE DB Destination on the Data Flow tab. The problem is that I cannot find my tables in SQL, which are clearly there. I am anle to use a query to define the destination…
SELECT TOP (1000) keynoun, abb
FROM EngineeringDocCon.dbo.tblKeyNoun
…and I am able to map the columns
I'm getting Valucadion errors about an inability to convert between unicode and non-unicode string types. Both destination fileds are of type nchar.
A little discouraged that the examples are not working, as I believe I am doing something really simple…
Thank you in advance.
Hi Pinalbhai,
I am working as BI Developer today I came up with the new requirements that I need to create dynamic excel file with everyday date (like 'Reports_02_09_2012.xls') on our network drive. Pl. can you help me how to create a dynamic excel file? the data source is SQLServer Table and destination is .xls file. PLssssssssss
Excellent. Easy to follow screen shots. Worked first time.
Hi Pinal,
I did the same thing in creating an SSIS package for importing data from a flat file. But this had the confusing and hilarious effect of interpreting dates inconsistently. Any dates where the day was greater than the 12th of the month would be correctly interpreted as dd/mm/yyyy but anything less than that would be backwards.
So 01/21/2011 would be correctly read as the 21st of Jan 2011.
But 01/06/2008 would happily be interpreted as 1st of June 2011.
Thanks Deepak for such a good solution. One thing i just want to ask that how we can schedule data loading from a particular text file.
Hello Sir,
I m Raghavendra…Can you tell me how to dump 4 files of different strucutured data to 9 tables..???
I hope that you will reply soon..
I am getting package validation error message box stating Error at Data Flow Task [SSIS.Pipeline]: input column "" (239) has lineage ID 203 that was not previously used in the Data Flow Task.
There are few more exception messages being written like these! How to get over it?
nice explanation. thanks.

I need your help in Import 4GB .CSV file with 340 colums.
Its not allow me to import it
Did you get any error?
Hi, I want same with mulitiple files to load into database using Foreach loop container.
Hi Pinal,
I upload csv file but it execute operating system error… What can i do for this error. Any updation for OS. I am using XP sp1 .
Hi Everybody,
Could you please suggest me how can I insert data from one flat file to different tables in sql server Database using SSIS or SQL code?
I have a data like this format in flat file. I need to insert it into different 3 tables in sql server 2008 , named TB1, TB2 and TB3. here in raw file : fieldterminator = '*' and rowterminator = '~'
1st and 4th rows records should be inserted in TB1 TABLE.
2nd and 5th rows records should be inserted in TB2 table
and 3rd row's records should be inserted in TB3 table.
How can I load the latest csv file in a folder into the database table.I have 5 csv files with different modified times….I want to load the latest file.
Do the files have date values as part of the names?
Hi Madhivanan,
Am also looking for a solution for the same problem. Kindly reply if you have any solution for this. Thanks in advance.
Just got a doubt, if the file name changes everyday then what would be the mechanism. As in this case the file name is CSVfile.txt. Lets put an example. The file name would be CSVfile_20121008.txt (where 20121008 is today's date). And this value will be changing regularly and the file would be placed in the same location(so the old file is deleted and only the new file as of current date is present). Is there any process for the same with keeping with the approach same of importing the data.
thanks pinal ..
Hi Pinal,
I've worked with and it worked great for a while. Now I have an issue. Somewhere in the csv file there is something bad. The file has about 200k lines in it, so manually searching for the error is not possible (although I've done that anyway). I seem to have no issues when reading the file into Excel or Access (for trying to find the error). Do you have an addition to the solution show, that enables me to exactly pinpoint the line that is causing the error?. By the way, I have tried to redirect the line containing the error to an alternative table. My (probably crude) attempt was not successfull
Thanks! great articles…
Great article! I am just learning how to use SSIS (today) and your article is very helpful. I am wondering if there is a way to load a CSV file and change all blank strings to NULL across all columns without writing it out column by column?
Hi Pinal, Great article to begin with, i am working in SSIS and am not sure on backward compatibility stuff supported in 2008, i have made a package with 97-2003 as source but if the version of excel is 3.0/4.0, would the behaviour of ssis change, do we need to explicitly handle this and also if we wanna make this .xlsx compatible what would be a good practice?

Nice example
Does SSIS support N to N column mappings as DTS did ? I do not see it graphically as I did with DTS
N to N column mappings as explained here (In DTS)
On column6, wat delimiter did u use? I have a csv file, all separated by commas. But mine seems to have A problem with the last column. Kept saying row and column cannot have same delimiter. I'll greatly appreciate it if I can be sent the source code. Thanks
How to import csv file from gzip file using gzip stream? I would not like extract import files because it's very very large file > 20 GB and wouldn't like spent time for extract and save csv file to disk.
I have a folder which has multiple files and their names are dates (e.g. 04-08-2014.CSV,04-09-2014.CSV) and in my SSIS package I want to load the most recent one by filename. How can I achieve it?
I am currently using a hardcoded filename in my Connection Manager.
My SO question is here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22969449/how-to-use-the-latest-file-in-a-folder-for-source
All help is greatly appreciated.
Is it possible to get files from a FTP Server in stead of a local source? I really need some steps in how to do this.

Hi all,
I have a 7Years data in db. i need to stored each and every month data into FlatFile, and next flatfile will be generate automatically. By using SSIS. It will take all updates.
In my case I would like to import 2 csv files with different names and the latest dropped file for each one of them, the validation and table to be insert it into are the same. How would I go about doing so? Thanks!
Very helpful and images do help. Thank you for posting this SSIS tutorial.
Glad it help you GT!
Hi Pinal,
Keep updating for the ssis packages….
Matish – you mean more blogs on SSIS packages?
I feel I can really use your valuable help. I am trying to import this csv file into my SQL destination table. I have my flat file source component and OLEDB destination component for my SQL table. The error is follows:
"SFH OPS File [43] Error: The column delimiter for column "Scheduler_Full_Name" was not found.
Even though the delimiter is there, it says not found. Since this is the last column i have it set to CRLF.
I can post the .dtsx and the flat file for further discussion.
Fahad Zia
Provide simple repro.
Hi Pinal,
How can i load a single file with different data sets, like 3 different table structure which are separated by 1 blank row into 3 tables using SSIS. I know i have to use script task or component. Can you help on this
If any other suggestions…you are most welcome
Hi, I am trying to import data from csv file to SQL Server using SSIS, however in one column there are more that 20000 character in it, I unable to load it due to columns size 8000 character, even I have set nvarchar(max) it is not working, please let me know what is the way to import that column data. if anybody come across this scenario please let me know and appreciate it. Thanks
What if we have embedded text qualifier as shown bellow. In BI development tool 2008 if we assign " as text qualifier it works fine and gets (Mailing "Inactief") as description correctly. However in Visual studio data tool 2012 and 2013 it does not work (Error: The column delimiter for column "Description" was not found.). The easiest solution seems to be setting TextQualified property in Advance Editor to False and then delete " at the beginning and end of the text using a script or conversion task. Why it does not work in 2012 and 2013 as it does in 2008?
1~"Mailing "Inactief""~3
Thanks a ton Dave.. This helped me lot in my automation activities.
This a good example, how would I modify it to have a variable as a file name? I have filenames which change as the date changes daily. Could I have a pre-process that builds the file name and then the flat file gets referenced and processed into my table? How would I do that?
Also, once the project works how do I deploy it to our SQl server and get it scheduled?
You can create package and deploy it in SSIS. Also, you can programmatically change the name.
Where do I programically change the file name?
When I need something critical about sql server, this blog always appears at google result.. Thank You, master Dave
A great resource, i was able to create my first SSIS package using this resource, it has created a bit of a buzz in the team and are now looking to use SSIS for more flat file conversions/imports/exports
Many Thanks
It's helpful ! Thanks
When inserting data from a CSV file into my SQL database using a SSIS package, I lose data; 200 rows out of 2 million, do you have any idea why this is? I was wondering if this was a SQL database size issue but the data doesn't look like it is cutting/truncating the last chunk of information out. Are there any limitations with using this approach on a large data set with over 2m rows?
I nedd to load the data into db and i am using a txt file.what should be the derived column expression should i used show that the data with negaive value at the end of the column data can be insert easily.
Suppose for a clomun ABC the value in text file is 12345+ and i need to load the data into db as 123.45+, using DT_NUMERIC() i can convet this a numeric fild, but i am not getting the + sign in the db.
I guess a suitable derive column can help me in doing this.
I have used a derived column that can insert signd at the beginning but i not able to do when at the end.
It might be the case of stored proc,try to create two or more update flow(split the data or column into half ) in your package and then try.I was facing the same issue when i was loading the same amount of data.
Can you please while we import how can we get null values in table against blank values in csv or excel file?

Discussion in 'Stark Mountain' started by Itchni, Jul 19, 2010.
I am doing a Ground type one and I am just waiting for my Gible to hatch.
I just found My old gameboy and my Blue cart, and I'm going to do a mono type run. I'm thinking about a Mono-poison run, but Sabrina scares me. Does Tentacruel learns Amnesia? If so, i might have a shot.
Any suggestions for other runs? Just don't suggest Mono-water, i clearly remember soloing the game with a Blastoise 13 years ago, when i was 8.
Tentacruel doesn't learn Amnesia but you don't need it. Just find a Poison that's fast and can hit physically. Nidoking or Victreebel. Also a high-leveled Tentacruel can probably brute-force with Surf (or maybe Swords Dance / Wrap). You can also just win with luck because Sabrina's Pokémon are stupid and don't always use Psychic.
I think that Flying would be fun, I.care.0.
Bug-type would be cool in Black/White.
Possible mons:
Thanks guys, but sadly, the mono-type Blue will have to wait. I just caught a shiny, adamant geodude with a 31/28/20/03/31 spread. I HAVE to try a mono-earth on my HeartGold.
Playing a mono-fire on a Crystal emulation, this is gonna be interesting.
All the pokemon will be named after arsonists, my starter is named John Orr...
This always looked like a fun idea but I never tried it. I'll try either a Flying, Poison or Water mono-type on LeafGreen. With some trading, I could do an Ice run on either HG or SS.
This is a fascinating and fun idea for playing the game. I'd thought to myself that a Dark run in Ruby / Sapphire / Emerald would be a great idea, and this thread proves it. Ghost one might be interesting, too, but you'd be limited to the only six guys available, really, and Sidney & Phoebe in the Elite 4 might be a bit of a challenge.
I'm more interested in doing it for fun, and not necessarily for the "challenge." It's fun to think of your character winning the Elite 4 and setting up a typed gym with your team. I'm not so opposed to trading in some guys to start out the game with - did this for my Platinum run-through and it was really a lot of fun to mix & match non-legendaries to come up with an interesting team of guys that I wouldn't normally use, just to see how the team would mesh together. You'd pretty much have to "trade-in" to get teams of certain types, just because there are so few guys - a dragon team for Ruby doesn't have too many options; an all-electric team on any of the Gen III games - or even Gen IV - is a little sparse in the options. One of the redeeming features of Gen V is that they're really rounding out the dual-type matchups for fun run-throughs like this. Stuff like Ghost-Fire, Dark-Dragon, Dark-Fight, Bug-Electric...they might not all be competitive, but they are certainly interesting.
The original RBY is more boring, IMO, just because the options are so limited for a themed team like this. Fire, Rock, Grass, Electric are just some that are BORING, and Steel and Dark are right out altogether. Fire is still boring in HGSS, Electric has more guys but no more variety (not until Gen IV that Rotom makes it interesting)...hmm.
I like the idea of a Dark-through of Hoenn; need to do a run-through of LeafGreen sometime (have a SpaceCenter Deoxys and a 10ANIV Celebi on the cart that you can't trade out until you have the nat'l dex)...maybe I'll do a themed set with that, but it's just SO limited. I really wish that the FR/LG remakes let you take through anybody, even from the national dex. It would completely break the balance, but it would be fun to go through the game like that - a Normal run-through, perhaps, with interesting guys like Kecleon and Castform, a Fight-through with Breloom or Blaziken, a Ground-through with Claydol and Flygon. Lots of possibilities for fun. You'd figure that, if they're "making" you go through the games again, the least they could do is make it wide open for fun like this instead of restricting you to that game's dex, or at least making it optional.
Just restarted HG for a dual-type of Fire/Rock. I'll try to use both equally, but it will be slightly easier& harder than the original challange. Wish me luck.
I picked up my Ice run of Platinum the other day. Damn... it's getting really hard. Electric gym almost raped me (even Mamoswine had trouble eventually). But I beat that.
Time to break out Prinplup for Waterfall.
Turns out this isn't too bad, I've recdntly Day Care'd my hatched Primo Slugma, here's the team post Whitney:

I really like the video camera app like in UD so you can open the vid cam without switching to it from the pic cam. My only suggestion, otherwise...
why dont you just install the 1.7 kernel?
i know that, i had to scale down the cpu to 800 to conrol the heat soak, but battery life is killing me. usually my droid loves everything from...
me too, tried multiple kernels. too much heat and battery drain. I restored my backup of 1.71, which gets the BEST battery life and runs super cool.
I did. I'll download again and try.
still doesnt work for me :( tried v2 and v1 same thing, failed to update. am i the only one having problems flashing with sprecovery?
I get update errors when trying to flash via SPRecovery. Could you try to upload again?
I'm loving it so far. Only thing is the galaxy s theme is missing all the blue coloring(Only reason I use it). Otherwise silky smooth and blazing...
Galaxy s would be awesome. dancedroid
could you make one with the stock d2 colored keys and the text #ff0092ff? that would be awesome.

My recently completed article presents steps that governments can take now to encourage the development, deployment, and use of automated road vehicles. After providing technical and legal context, it describes key administrative, legal, and community strategies. It concludes by urging policymakers to facilitate automated driving in part by expecting more from today's drivers and vehicles.

Hope to see you!
We invite submissions for We Robot 2016 to be held in Coral Gables, Florida on April 1-2, 2016 at the University of Miami School of Law. We Robot–the premier US conference on law and policy relating to Robotics that began at the University of Miami School of Law in 2012, and has since been held at Stanford and University of Washington–returns to Miami Law April 1st-2nd in 2016. Attendees include lawyers, engineers, philosophers, robot builders, ethicists, and regulators who are on the front lines of robot theory, design, or development. The main conference will be preceded by a day of special workshops (see below). The conference web site is http://robots.law.miami.edu/2016.
The use of robots inevitably changes the equation for how police apply "use of force," a term that is broadly defined by the International Association of Chiefs of Police as the "amount of effort required by police to compel compliance by an unwilling subject."
The robot used by the Dallas police department to kill Micah Johnson — the sniper who fired into a peaceful protest and killed five police officers, injuring others — was originally designed to defuse explosives. The police attached a pound of the explosive C4 to the robot, creating a makeshift weapon out of a design that was not intended to inflict harm on people. The robot was also remote-controlled, not autonomous.
This is a guest post. The views expressed here are solely those of the author and do not represent positions of IEEE Spectrum or the IEEE.
Last week, the Dallas police killed a suspected gunman with a bomb-delivering robot. It was a desperate measure for desperate times: five law enforcement officers were killed and several more wounded before the shooter was finally cornered.
""Under existing law, the federal government regulates motor vehicle design, and the states regulate driving and noncommercial drivers," says Bryant Walker Smith, an assistant professor of at the University of South Carolina who studies driverless cars. "The challenge here is you have the vehicle becoming the driver in many ways. That muddies this division of roles between the federal government and the state government.""
"With Go or chess or Space Invaders, the goal is to win, and we know what winning looks like," says Lin. "But in ethical decision-making, there is no clear goal. That's the whole trick. Is the goal to save as many lives as possible? Is the goal to not have the responsibility for killing? There is a conflict in the first principles."
"The article then paraphrases philosophy professor Patrick Lin, whose work at Cal Poly focuses in part on the ethics of driverless cars. According to Lin, "On the one hand, [the trolley problem] is a great entry point and teaching tool for engineers with no background in ethics. On the other hand, its prevalence, whimsical tone, and iconic status can shield you from considering a wider range of dilemmas and ethical considerations.""
"Even the stereo, which was affected by Lexus's update, can create an unsafe situation, robotics law expert Ryan Calo told the Monitor. For example, buggy software might cause the radio to blare suddenly, startling the driver and causing an accident.
Tesla recently introduced a software update to control the whole vehicle, Dr. Calo tells the Monitor, although he says Lexus' update is technically not critical to safety.
The result, he says, is that "The line between control-critical and entertainment systems is not perfectly clean.""
Attendees will hear leading speakers, participate in interactive breakout sessions, and network with key innovators in this exciting field. Don't miss what's in store for the Automated Vehicles Symposium 2016.
Affiliate Scholars Bryant Walker Smith and Patrick Lin are confirmed speakers.

Professor Patrick Lin discusses key ethical, legal, and policy challenges in cyberwarfare. This event is part of the "IT, Ethics, and Law" lecture series, co-sponsored by the High Tech Law Institute.
Robots are starting to look suspiciously familiar. Increasingly sophisticated robots designed to resemble us are striking up more and more symbiotic relationships with humans, at home as our companions and at our workplaces as colleagues.
Human-robot interactions will continue to evolve as robotic technology transforms the way we see our creations and the way they react to us. But as machines cease acting like machines and become more integrated into our lives, how will we feel about them? And, dare we ask, how will they feel about us?

Hours after gunman Micah Johnson ambushed police officers in downtown Dallas, he was killed by a bomb strapped on a police robot. Robots in the past have stopped a lot of dangerous situations, but using a robot to kill - that was a first for a domestic police force. Kris Van Cleave reports on the ethical questions about the use of robots to kill suspects.
Affiliate Scholar Peter Asaro is interviewed.

This week, General Motors announced that it would pour $500 million into the ride-sharing service Lyft, with an aim of eventually producing a fleet of self-driving cars. And the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas was filled with autonomous vehicle tech tidbits from companies such as Toyota and Nvidia. But what might a future in which all cars can drive themselves do to our cities, towns, and society? Industry observers say that while it's clear that there will be robotic cars, it's much less clear how people will choose to use them.

Happy New Year! And there's already so much going on. We're keeping it close to home today, to start 2016. As close as the sky above us. The Federal Aviation Administration and NASA see it getting really busy with drones. Maybe a million-plus new drones out there just in recent weeks. Amazon and Google keep pushing for drone delivery. Now NASA's talking drone highways in the sky. This hour On Point, how we will live with drones.

I'm sure Big Blue Nation will be cool with that. The Kelsey family has a longstanding relationship with Charlie Strong has his dad, Keith Kelsey, Sr played for Strong at Florida during the mid-1990s. The younger Kelsey is 6-1, 220-lbs and according to several recruiting analysts, will challenge for time immediately. Louisville does return a nice group of linebackers so if he is as good as people say, this is a very solid addition. The Cards now have 14 commitments in the 2013 class, with a few recruits still out there. Signing Day is just around the corner. It will be interesting to see how the Cards finish up.

breaking all sales records now. Mgmnt bringing out the Carlo Rossi to celebrate.
"another contract like this and our NOL will negate equity. We will be a true "virtual company with no equity, no assets and run by bondholders". A senior member of the janitorial staff was quoted saying after 3 Carlo's.
This company has the most active PR dept. I've ever seen.
Sentiment: Hold
it is nice they get these contracts. but my point is that most all gov't contracts have cancellation or delay clauses (not Santa ones, alas) and are these contracts going to make KTOS any money so as to erase the negative equity.......

I think Moosewood and Laurel's Kitchen are the ones that really changed how I view and eat food.
I actually love books about food--I read Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, What to Eat, and The Omnivore's Dilemma this summer.
Since your husband is a foodie, maybe you could pick up a copy of The Ethical Gourmet. I haven't used any of the recipes yet, but it's a good & inspiring read.
Although they're not cookbooks, per se, all of the books I mentioned have really helped me along my path of eating food that's closer and closer to being real.
He'd say you can't live without The French Laundry Cookbook and The Silver Spoon.
More with Less - It probably contradicts NT in many ways, but what can I say, it got me away from pre-fab food.

Rebecca Roe, a former senior deputy prosecutor for King County, authored the Citizen's Report.
Roe's 2010 report found that five of the six Seattle Police Department officer involved shootings were justified, but it also calls for additional training for officers dealing with confrontations.
"We're not saying 'don't do your job,'" Roe said. "We're saying, 'do your job right."
The report, which was recently turned over to Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn, says the culture within the police department has to change, specifically in how officers communicate with the public.
"You want officers to make social contact," Roe said. "You want them to stop and talk to people and be visible."
The report highlights areas where Roe believes officers need additional training on how to "disengage peacefully from situations where their authority has been legitimately challenged."
"If you approach somebody who is not doing anything wrong and you want to talk to them but they don't want to talk to you, they don't have to talk to you," Roe said.
She also claims the lack of understanding of the limits of an officer's authority can lead to tragic consequences.
"Those incidents that kind of question their authority by attitude or words or turning around and waking away, they have to accept that," Roe said.
Perhaps the biggest challenge for police now is preventing minor incidents from escalating into major ones, and Roe said officers need better training and more emphasis on when to back down.
Roe, who has been a Citizen Observer with the Firearms Review Board since 2006, also recommends having two citizen observers. But the Seattle Police Officers Guild says it sees no need for additional civilian oversight of shootings.

text: Studio One Featured Release This Week From Sleater-Kinney By Mark Simmet • Feb 1, 2015 Instagram: Sleater-Kinney Sleater-Kinney formed in Olympia, Washington in 1994, and by the turn of the century the trio had come to be recognized as one of the best rock bands in America. They released seven studio albums between 1994 and 2005. In 2006, Sleater-Kinney went on a hiatus to work on individual projects and also to simply live their lives. Corin Tucker (vocals and guitar), Carrie Brownstein (guitar and vocals) and Janet Weiss (drums) quietly reunited about a year ago to write and record the songs for a new album, No Cities To Love. Their common aim was to reinvent the band. Blues Blowout With Lamont Cranston Band & The Blue Band By Mark Simmet • Jan 30, 2015 lamontcranston.com Hey, does anyone remember the Shadow? The mysterious crime-fighter with psychic powers began his long-running career in the 1930's, as a pulp magazine character, and also as the subject of a memorable dramatic radio program (voiced for a time by Orson Welles). The radio shows and the striking visual image of The Shadow have never really gone away, just faded into the...shadows. The character certainly made an impression on Minneapolis/St Paul-area brothers Pat and Larry Hayes, who founded their band in 1969 and named it after The Shadow's alter-ego, Lamont Cranston. Des Moines' The River Monks Explode onto National Scene By Ben Kieffer • Jan 27, 2015 Graham Gardner In this encore episode of IPR Studio One's "Java Blend," host Ben Kieffer will chat with The River Monks.

Baltimore native Panda Bear is a co-founding member of Animal Collective, a band known for their musical creativity and experimentation. The multi-instrumentalist has indicated that death and personal growth are lyrical themes of the new record. The music has been aptly described as "swirling" and "as pure as a babbling brook." Iowa Talent Represented In NPR Tiny Desk Concert Contest By Mark Simmet • Jan 23, 2015 NPR Tiny Desk Concerts are intimate video performances, recorded live at the desk of All Songs Considered host, Bob Boilen. Boilen's desk is located at NPR headquarters in Washington, DC. Past performers have included Lucinda Williams, Rubblebucket, St Paul and The Broken Bones, J.

Featured Release This Week From Rose's Pawn Shop By Mark Simmet • Jan 18, 2015 rosespawnshop.com Gravity Well is the new album from Rose's Pawn Shop. The Los Angeles-based, five-piece group formed in 2006, and this is their third full-length album. The sound of Rose's Pawn Shop can be categorized as Americana leaning toward the indie rock side. In fact, the songs on Gravity Well have been described as rousing, fierce and anthemic; the music a "stomping interpretation of alt-country and Americana songcraft." Hear Beverly & The Accordion's Studio One Set By Mark Simmet • Jan 14, 2015 Elliot Tensen The Iowa band Beverly and the Accordion performed live in IPR'S Cedar Falls studios on January 13. The six-piece group played songs from their new release The Porch Sessions, and more. An appreciative hometown audience responded enthusiastically to Beverly and the Accordion's Americana-flavored music. And yes, an accordion can be heard in the mix! Rebecca Rego's Music Bursts with Poetic Vocals By Ben Kieffer • Jan 12, 2015 Image provided by artist.

The duo later expanded to a four-piece band. After recording a few tracks and releasing a few EP's, the debut full-length album from DRGN KING was released in 2013. Baltimore Crush is the follow-up, with songs inspired by Angelella's youth in Baltimore, and highlighting the band's bright indie-rock sound. Iowa Roots Band Brother Trucker Perfects "Iowa Sound" By Ben Kieffer • Jan 6, 2015 Image provided by artist.

Gnome By Mark Simmet • Jan 4, 2015 mrgnome.com The Heart Of A Dark Star is the fourth album from mr. Gnome, a married duo from Cleveland, Ohio. The full sound of mr. Gnome's music is created by singer/guitarist Nicole Barille and drummer/pianist Sam Meister. They have been recording as mr. Gnome since 2006.

Featured Release This Week From Flake Music By Mark Simmet • Dec 28, 2014 npr.org James Mercer's band The Shins began as a side project of his then primary group, Flake Music. The Albuquerque, New Mexico band was more collaborative than The Shins, and was active for much of the 1990's. They only released one full-length album, When You Land Here It's Time To Return, in 1997. Because of the success of The Shins (and another Mercer project, Broken Bells), interest remains high in Flake Music. The album's songs, remixed and reissued now on the Sub Pop label, are enjoyable guitar-based indie pop. A Rockin' Hour With Bob Dorr & The Blue Band By Ben Kieffer • Dec 22, 2014 In this episode of IPR Studio One's "Java Blend," host Ben Kieffer will chat with Bob Dorr & The Blue Band. Featured Release This Week From Blind Boys of Alabama & Taj Mahal By Mark Simmet • Dec 21, 2014 blindboys.com/ Blind Boys of Alabama formed in 1944, and have stated that their goal is to "spiritually uplift audiences."
